Correct, fitment seems to be pretty good and it bolted up no problem.

Called a few shops, looks like the current US delivery estimate for the HKS Spec-L2 is March.

I may have just reserved one from 86Speed

Picked up an XForce 2.5" resonated exhaust on Black Friday sale. Super happy with their exhaust on my RX-8, figured I'd try their 86 offering. Still waiting for my car to get here but whatever.

Came with two sets of tips, which is cool.

Packaging is, uh, "fine" at best. Half the cost of most 86 exhausts though...

Quality looks pretty good though! My RX-8 exhaust has held up well on track and daily driving so I suspect this will be good too. The RX-8 has a LOT higher exhaust temps than most cars and puts a beating on cheap crap.

2017 build date, guessing these don't sell quickly.

They mill the flanges flat after welding, a nice touch.

I just hope it fits as well as the RX-8 exhaust did! I did order some 1/2" split shaft collars like what Perrin uses so I can center the exhaust nicely in the openings. Otherwise, should be good to go whenever I get my car. I'll post videos and such.

I put a 2.5" XForce cat back on my 1st gen a couple of months ago. very happy with the sound (not super loud - just meaty when on it), the price and the build quality.

I will be installing my Perrin 2.5" cat-back very soon.

CZ6T · 12-06-2021, 09:35 PM

I am by no means good at taking videos, so please don't crucify me, but here's a quick comparison between stock and the MXP SP dual titanium tip catback exhaust for y'all.

Simmons · 12-07-2021, 10:17 PM

I installed my 2.5" Perrin cat-back tonight.

Stock cat-back weighs 35.38 lbs
Perrin weighs 34.74 lbs

Stock is 2.25"
Perrin is 2.5"

I think it looks great on the 2022, fits the bumper nicely.

That fitment looks great. Sounds good too. Looks like I'll be transferring mine over too.

It sucks my car was dirty from driving in the rain....

CZ6T · 12-08-2021, 11:14 AM

I haven't seen a lot of cars with the MXP dual tip, but mine does seem to sit much higher than yours. There's maybe a 1/4" clearance between the top of my exhaust tip and the bumper.

Ark put up a video of their grip exhaust on a 2022 BRZ

Varelco · 12-09-2021, 10:42 AM

That Ark Grip is such a great exhaust. I currently have a Perrin 2.5" resonated on my 2015, definitely think I want to try the Ark grip on this new car.
